Gary Lineker says Amad is “really good example” of major Man Utd problem Rúben Amorim has

Gary Lineker points to Amad as example of Manchester United’s ongoing challenge under Rúben Amorim

Gary Lineker has drawn attention to Amad, calling him a clear example of an issue that continues to trouble Manchester United under Rúben Amorim.

Match overview

Rúben Amorim kept the same starting eleven as Manchester United visited the City Ground to take on Nottingham Forest in Saturday’s Premier League clash. Both teams began with energy and created early chances, but Forest had the better of the opening moments. Despite that pressure, United took the lead when Casemiro scored with a header from a corner — a decision Forest fans felt was questionable.

Forest pushed hard for an equaliser before halftime but couldn’t convert their opportunities. After the break, Sean Dyche’s men struck quickly: Morgan Gibbs-White headed past Senne Lammens to level the score, and just 39 seconds later, Nicolò Savona reacted fastest in the box to put Forest 2–1 ahead.

Amad’s influence

The game became more open as both sides searched for another goal. With ten minutes left, Amad volleyed home brilliantly to restore parity for Amorim’s team. He nearly netted a winner late on, but Murillo’s outstanding goal-line clearance preserved the draw after a lively contest in Nottingham.

Amad’s evolving role

Though naturally positioned as a right winger, Amad has recently been used as a right wing-back since Amorim’s appointment. The player has adapted well, forming an effective partnership with summer signing Bryan Mbeumo on the right side of United’s formation.

"Amad is a really good example of a problem that still exists at Manchester United," said Gary Lineker.
